Les Sushis y sont excellents! Les plats sont simples, succulents, variés & à un prix convenable. Je recommande fortement!! Seul amélioration recommandé: Que le site internet indique clairement la fermeture les lundi & mardi. Ce qui est bien dommage mais bon, on doit tous se reposer...
Excellent quality & service! This is my first choice for sushi & sashimi on the South Shore! Be sure to reserve in advance if you go on weekends, because it's almost always packed.
Charming place were the sushi is always fresh & the customer service is # 1. All this for an affordable price. Very traditional & one of the top places on the south shore for sushi!

Cozy sushi place & a hidden gem in the south shore. Authentic Japanese cuisine in a relaxed & quiet setting. Only negative which seems to have become a problem lately is the extremely slow service, as take-out orders are treated with the same priority as dine-in. Meaning if you just sat down & ordered at the restaurant, but they got a dozen or more orders by phone, you're waiting 1 to 2 hours for your order to be served. Something must change in that regards. But the food, the staff, the ambience are otherwise all excellent. Will always come back for more but I hope the speed aspect will be improved...
1 hour & a half wait time & the sushi was good but quality has gotten worse throughout the years. Wish they would prioritize the people actually dining in the restaurant over the take out orders.

Yasu has always been our go to for close to 15 years. We respect the old & newer gen of owners. Sushi is not as good as it used to be but still our go to for sushi with no nonsense & fanfare. Good slices of fish & fresh but rice is not always as good as could be. Anything scallop is very good too there. One of our fav! Love that they serve Rimouski uni. Small but still good! Let's face it. Not too many good sushi options in La Belle Province. There are a lot of funky sushi in trendy sushi bars doused in sweet sauce, filled cream cheese aberation & fruits but more "traditional" tasting sushi is rare to find. Sushi is also pricey in Mtl :( So me know if you know any good in between Park & Yasu!
Went with friends. We ordered a lot that I didn't take photos of. Everything was fresh & at a good price. Service was prompt & top notch. Not a bad selection of sakes. Must go.
Probably THE best Sushi place in the whole Metropolitain Montreal Area.
Always some fantastic new arrivals on the menu. The rice is always impeccable.Toro Tuna with Sea Urchin hand roll was " roll your eyeballs" good.
Very good food, real takoyaki, & sushi prepared fresh by real japanese chefs in front of you. Their specialty seems to be tuna & uni, which is creamy & tastes fresh. however, service was slow; they seemed to have too many orders coming from ubereats/phone.
I recommend the tuna, salmon, teriyaki beef.
Prices were actually very cheap for what we're getting, could easily fill your belly on sushi alone if you stay away from the premium uni.
